I just finished Falling Upward by Richard Rohr — and I can honestly say it found me at exactly the right time. A friend I deeply respect recommended it… and having just turned 47, it was just what I needed.


For the last 24 years, I’ve relentlessly chased everything — career goals, personal milestones, every mountain in front of me.

And I’ve been blessed to reach them all.

But life doesn’t end when you “arrive.” It keeps moving.

We keep moving.

We keep learning, unlearning, questioning the scripts we were handed, and discovering who we actually are beneath all the achievement.

Rohr puts words to something I’ve been feeling:

There’s a second journey — the one that begins when the first one ends.
The one where you stop proving and start becoming.
The one where you let go of the scoreboard and finally start living.

And in that journey, you realize:

Love is the only thing that endures
Growth never stops
Questions are holy
God is good
And our role is simply to love, to serve, to be good to each other, and stay open to wherever the journey takes us

If you’re in a season of transition…

If you’ve “achieved it all” but still feel the quiet tug toward something deeper…

If you’re asking new questions you never had space to ask before…

Falling Upward is the book I’d put in your hands.

Life is an incredible journey.

And love — truly — is all you need.
